Everyday Prayers with Million Praying Moms

It is back-to-school season, but not like one we have ever experienced before. This new year brings many unknown challenges and today's episode gets into all of that, along with all the opportunities to pray in this time of uncertainty. Our guest, Tara L. Cole, is the author of "Everyday Prayers for Back-to-School" and "Abide: 40 Ways to Focus on Jesus Daily." She is a wife and mom of three boys, and loves helping moms and their kids build relationships with Jesus together. To top it all off, she is also a teacher, which was very fitting for this topic! Brooke, Erin, and Tara discuss school choice, all the new stress this year brings, and making this a year of grace. Tara highlights the four areas of prayer for this school year covered in her newest book, including: praying for the right friendships, blessings and insight for our teachers, success in classes, and encouraging our children's unique gifts. Tune in to be encouraged as we start a school year unlike any other!

STOP CALLING ME BEAUTIFUL! Today's episode is a challenge for all Christian women to stop accepting shallow, surface-level teaching, and a powerless Gospel and to stretch instead for soul-deep strength based on the whole truth of God's Word. Our guest, Phylicia Masonheimer, has a passion to teach women the history and depth of the Christian faith; the "why" behind the Bible, and together with Erin and Brooke, she answers questions like: Why Christian women rarely experience much change after coming to Christ. How to recognize "pink fluff" theology and what the message of the church to women should be instead. How to make positive change to women's ministry. And so much more!

Our guest today is Lisa Whittle. Many of you have come to know Lisa from her thriving, "tell-it-like-it-is" Instagram feed, or through her library of books pointing us to the Gospel. She's become someone we personally look to for wisdom on many things, including how to understand hard passages of scripture. She's been on the Million Praying Moms podcast before talking about helping us navigate the world of kids' sports with grace. If you haven't listened to that one, you should. But it's her latest book, Jesus Over Everything: Uncomplicating the Daily Struggle to Put Jesus First, that we've invited her on the show to talk about today. In this issue, we invite Lisa to answer questions like: Why do we, as a culture, need to uncomplicate things? Why do we all find it so hard to choose Jesus over anything else, especially ourselves? Should parents choose Jesus over our kids? And more! Tune in now!
